Until those anal science teams with thousands of images start releasing those images rather than just four out of twelve hundred then it can all just be considered supposition.

It would be absurd and egotistic to think Earth is the only inhabited planet. I would put that right up there with quoting literature for posts.

Just a suggestion when posting images for discussion on a forum would be to re-size the image smaller or for the really large images just a link works. That would be courteous not only for bandwidth but for ease of reading the posts.

Epimetheus's chunk is probably Janus;

Hyperion's (250km?) chunk may have formed "Xanadu" on nearby Titan:
That is a stretch.

That image was taken back in October 1999, January 2000, and December 2000. Has there been a consensus as to the distance to the Crab Nebula; it seems to vary from 6000 ly to 6500 ly. Art, the chart does not have the distance to the Crab listed. If the light from the explosion was seen in 1054 AD, t...
